If on a short dive (say 60m/25-30min) you are to bring
only one deco-mix, which would it be, 50% or 100%?

Decoprograms rewards you generously for breathing the
50% from 21m to the surface, yet we've had some
discussion on the Scandinavian Tech-list recently that
bringing 100% would be a better idea. The rational
behind this being that the models for decompression are
at best crude approximations to how the body responds,
and in the worst case wrong, and you'd be better off
with the 100% at 6m because you'd have a longer time at
a depth where the ppO2 = 1.6.

Comments, explanations or general guidelines are most
welcome.
